Several Greene County Residents Report New Scam Attempt

Several Greene County residents reported a new scam attempt late last week. The Jefferson Police Department received notification that individuals were receiving phone calls and being told they had missed jury duty. The caller then said an arrest warrant had been issued in their name and this would be executed unless they submitted payment. So far, five reports have come in about this particular scam, but no losses have been incurred. Everyone is reminded to be cautious about any solicitations for money over the phone. Law enforcement authorities do not make phone calls seeking payments and if there is ever any question about the validity of a call, simply hang up and contact authorities directly.
